Here is Andee's " Day and Night" quilt with the binding already sewn to the front ready for her to stitch down on the back. It's so large-king size-that it doesn't quite hang clear of the floor

I couldn't bring myself to just quilt "all over" without regard for the block design, so I had to come up with some way to quilt the blocks separately and the SID I saw on a couple other Day and Night quilts simply wasn't in consideration. I would have been bored to tears by the time I got halfway through!

So I quilted "line dancing" with these curlicues in the star blocks and another version of curlicues on the octagons-

it has an optical illusion thing with a secondary design so the octagons can be difficult to see but they are there, just squint! If that doesn't work, click on the pic to enlarge and I think you'll see it then.

The back is a black and white print so nothing much shows up there.

This is for Andee's cousin, a wedding gift and I heard that Tara is pretty anxious to get her hands on it now that she has had a sneak peek on Andee's blog!

It's very dramatic design, a great deal of time and energy expended in the construction so it deserved a complimentary quilting and I hope I have achieved that!

Wow, that is a great design--I love it when I look at a quilt and see more than one pattern. And when I saw the closeup, I saw even more patterns. Wonderful quilting. It does really compliment it so nicely.

Hi Roslyn,Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yes I am a quilter but not to the level you are I'm sure.Right now I have a lot of UFO's because of time constraints (and blogging more than I should:). So,feel free to stop by my blog, from time to time I'll be posting what I'm working on. Or I ma even post a few pics of what I actually do have finished:)By the way, I love the above quilt, its very striking and beautiful...Terry

This IS a dramatic looking quilt... the colors, the design. It looks like it's going to take off ,at some point, and fly with it's little red pinwheels. The pattern is amazing....looks very complicated. I don't know how you do it.The curlicue quilting really adds to the overall look. Softens the whole quilt a bit.
